LEOPARD ID: OCELOT, MARGAY, ONCILLA

The ocelot is larger and more robt than the margay (weighg about 3 tim as much), and hunts for food maly on the ground (Goldman 1920; Emmons 1988). Also, the smaller size of the margay enabl to walk further out on branch than the Ocelot, and s longer tail enabl to more easily mata balance.

Right now, the margay is the only t that has the jot rotatn sufficiency to climb down a tree head first wh hd feet facg the tnk. Bee the Margay is generally ls abundant than the Ocelot throughout s range (Goldman 1920; Leopold 1959), and is secretive s habs, is unknown whether or not Margays still roam south Texas.

Three of them that are the most difficult to tell apart are the Ocelot, Margay and Oncilla, which has recently been spl to two speci – Northern and Southern Tiger Cats.

OCELOT VS. MARGAY

In the 1950s or 1960s there were attempts to cross-breed the Ltle Spotted Cat (F tigra, also lled the Oncilla) wh the Margay (F wiedi) by Dutch t specialist Mme Falkena-Rohrle.

Before he was crossed to an Abyssian female, her Oncilla male x Margay female produced some betiful hybrid ktens acrdg to the one report I uld fd. Margay: Slightly smaller size, the Margay stands about two feet tall om feet to shoulrs, measurg three feet length, and weighs between five to twelve pounds.

It also has gray to goln-brown fur wh black and brown spots and patterns, remblg the Margay has a shorter head, larger ey, and a distctly longer tail relatn to s body size as pared to the Ocelot. Margay: Margays are almost exclively found fort habats that range om humid tropil evergreen and ciduo forts to montane and cloud forts, ntuo stretch of woodland to small swamp agments surround by savanna, and even ffee and a plantatns. Margay: The Margay, known for s extraordary acrobatic skills and preference for heights, do most of s huntg above creature hunt and eats speci like ronts, birds, and sects and also eat u.

MARGAY VS. OCELOT

In ncln, while Ocelots and Margays may appear siar, they have noteworthy differenc their physil featur, habat, diet, and behavr. Intifier un ocelot à partir d'un margay sera l'une s tâch l pl difficil une personne non entraînée ou une personne nnue, r ils sont très siair à la recherche et l chats svag étroement liés.

DIFFéRENCE ENTRE OCELOT ET MARGAY

Rearchers Brazil found Margays feedg on bats ught mist s and there are also reports om field rearchers and Amazonian habants of Margays attractg pied tamar prey by mimickg the lls of tamar adaptatns of the Margay to their fort habat is such that they are badly affected by their ntractg rang due to fortatn and land nversn as they refe to cross open areas wh no ver. HabatMargays are found almost exclively fort habats which vary om humid tropil evergreen and ciduo forts to montane and cloud forts, ntuo stretch of woodland to small swamp agments surround by savanna, and even ffee and a plantatns when there is sufficient tree ver, though they are ls tolerant of human settlement than other are very few rerd stanc of Margay activy durg the day when they n be found rtg tre seven to ten metr above the ground (possibly as protectn om ocelots).

Unfortunately Margay end up rnered isolated parcels of land surround by cleared fort where the populatn suffers om breedg and lack of prey.

In Brazil, due to habat agmentatn, populatns the Atlantic Fort are more threatened than those the to s betiful thick, soft fur, Margay was one of the most heavily exploed ts for the fur tra until tra rtrictns the late 1980s. As Margays are smaller than other sought-after ts wh siar ats (ocelot, jaguar, leopard) took at least fifteen animals to make one at.

MARGAY OR OCELOT. CROSSWORD CLUE

However, illegal huntg is still a threat some areas for tra the pet and fur dtri and retaliatory killg when animals are found attackg Margay also suffers unr the ‘ocelot effect’: they tend to be rare areas where their range overlaps wh ocelot. AbstractThe method prented here allows for the unequivol differentiatn between non-vasive sampl of ocelots and margays, when ed batn wh the protol by Roqu et al.

3 faec of ocelot per margay sample roads and trails loted potential areas of existence, suggtg generally lower nsi of margay, although margays uld be unrtimated due to their arboreal habs. Low nsi of ocelots uld be favorg higher nsi of margays areas like the Saloan dry forts and the Chimalapas montane forts, both Mexi.

Ocelots were found om open to forted habats, cludg mosaic cropland and grassland, however margays were only found forts where average nopy height exceed 5 m.

MARGAY (TREE OCELOT)

Here, we prent a plementary method, which allows to distguish between the two and margay are two small felid sister-speci that live the Neotropics, overlappg most of their distributn areas (Fig. Margays are particularly secretive and is thought that they are more rtricted to nse forts due to their arboreal habs (Guggisberg 1975; Koney 1989; Oliveira 1998, 2011). 1Distributn rang of ocelot and margay acrdg to IUCN, and lotn of the study areas surveyed for felid faec between 2004 and 2015.

Bis, the sts of genotypg n be extremely high for those studi where the intifitn of the sampl is need only to the speci signed a molecular method that is easy, fast and expensive to unequivolly distguish between ocelot and margay, and tted wh field sampl llected 25 study s wispread throughout the distributn areas of both speci. This method is eful those s where intifitn to the speci level of ocelots and/or margays is need, and should always be ed after the protol scribed Roqu et al.

We ed the intifitn data wh our new method to timate differenc relative abundance and broad-sle habat e ocelots and margays across their distributn range. Materials and methodsSampl, llectn, prervatn and study areasFor the optimizatn and validatn of the protol proposed here, we ed blood and fael sampl obtaed between 2005 and 2009 om six ocelots and four margays om the Brazilian Amazon kept ptivy Mans, Amazonas State (Brazil). Ocelots and margays, like other felids, are known to pos faec and other marks to munite wh other dividuals (Fraser 2012; Sunquist and Sunquist 2002).

Field sampl were also stored and nserved sterilized plastic vials wh sili pellets at room extractn and prev intifitn of ocelot/margay field samplBlood sampl were extracted followg standard phenol–chloroform extractn protols (Sambrook et al.

MARGAY

As prevly mentned, field sampl om ocelot or margay were intified g speci-specific primers and RCP-PCR protol veloped by Roqu et al.

The assay is based on two parallel and different PCR reactns, one specific for ocelot intifitn (Lp-201F and LpLw-325R primers) and another one specific for margays (Lw-201F and LpLw-325R primers).
